Firm cables and reports of bad wether
conditions in the West gave the wheat
market a strong tone, and the July de
livery opened *4@%c improved at 74^4c
to 74 1.2<574%e. These figures tempted a
considerable number of sellers, chiefly of
the professional class, and there was an
early decline to 74% c, where the market
steadied and fluctuated narrowly till the
middle of the session, when active cover
ing by shorts caused a reaction, which
prevailed until the high price of the day,
74% c, was recorded. This acute advance
•was induced largely by new reports of
damage by Hessian fly, and further sto
ries of drought in sections where raJn is
badly needed. Later authentic advices
are that while some damage had been
Buffered, it was not widespread^ and as
a result there was a big increase in the
offerings, and the market declined to
74% c. After this perioTl of profit-taking
another rally helped the price, and the
close was firm and %c at 74%®
74% c The volume of trade was large.
Argentine shipments for the week were
624 000 bu against 80S.00O the week before,
and 706.000 a year -■ ago. Clearances at
the seaboard of wheat and flour were ,
equal to 586,000 bu; primary receipts
were SSB 000 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported C3O cars, against 199 last week
and 714 a year ago. Three loads of wheat
were taken for export. Local receipts
were C 4 cars, one of contract grade.
Corn was firm, though trade was Ught
and receipts were moderately generous,
dry weather exerting a bull influence.
July corn opened at 44% cto 44% c, benefit
ing by the strength .in . wheat. A fair
outside demand developed and the price
improved early to 44% c, where it stead
ied Later the export demand which
was of moderate degree, induced a fur- ,
ther advance to 44%@443£c, where at a
period of liquidation was inaugurated
and a reaction to 44»;-c followed. lhe
close was steady, July %c higher at 44% c.

WOOL—Boston, May 31.—The Commer
cial Bulletin will say In tomorrow's re
port of- the vrpol trade in the United
States:- The market is filling up rapidly
with heavy receipts dt both domestic and
foreign wool. The demand is very small
this week and shipments are falling off.
All medium wools are weak. Medium
: territory has been sold on a .basis of 37c
clean. Ohio half-blood, unwashed, was
sOjld at 18c. A big line of Irish wool is
the only notable sale. Though of excel
lent quality, these super wools brought
but 26c. Fine wools,' on the other hand,
are quite firm. The advance of Ohio de
laine to 29c is mentioned and there has
been a relative active demand for X
grades. Receipts in Boston since Jan. 1
have been 73,760,221 lbs, against 72,831,160
lbs for the same period in 1900. The Bos
ton shipments to date are 101,706,556 lbs.
against sales of 64,627,000 lbs for the same
period in 1900. The stock on hand in
.Boston, Jan. 1, 1901, was 76.309,500 Its;
the total stock today is 48,363,165 lbs.
METALS—New York. May 31.—Today's
market for metal manifested all the char
acteristics of a regular holiday. Demand
was light and confined chiefly to meeting
requirements, with the closing tone call
ed quiet at $25.30@28.40. In London, how
ever, values advanced £1 owing to an
absence of sellers rather than to any de
mand of consequence, as the day's sales
only reached moderate proportions. The
close was steady, with spot quoted at
£129 15s and futures at £128 10s. Copper
in London advanced ss. but was very
quiet, closing at £69 8s 9d for spot and
£70 Is 3d for futures. Here the nvaj^t

from its continued steadiness, lead local
ly exhibited no new feature. The clos*
was steady at $4.37%. while in London
prices fell off 2s 6d to £126 Sd. Spelter
ruled quiet at $3.95<g>4. London prices were
reduced 2s 6d to £17 2s 6d. Domestic iron

AGRARIANS GET A SETBACK.
Radical Chosen to German Reichs
tag Prom Conservative District.
BERLIN, May 31.—The reichstag elec
tion at Greifswald, Prussia, has ended In
the defeat of the Conservative candidate,
Herr Coulbher, and a victory for the
Radical-Liberal candidate, Herr Goet
hein. Great importance attaches to th's
result because the election was fau^ht in
a strongly Agrarian district and on the
new tariff issues and the quos'.lon of
agrarian tolls.
Nevertheless the Deutsche Tageszei
tung, in a strong 6-ditorial, asks the Prus
sian government to give aid to the sjf
fering agriculturists, inasmuch as the
next crop is certain to fee the worst
known for years, to say nothing of the
rise in prices in consequence of Ameri
can competition. \.

. YORK, 'May 31.— The stock mar
ket developed quite a buoyant tone today
and the activity was still >1S further in
creased, giving the market a'good deal
the appearance again that'it «Jfj?red dur- •
ing the boom period. The strength be
came very general during the-progress of
the day, but the effect was In part sym
pathetic and flowed from, the conspicu
ous strength of prominent, stocks, 'the
current conjecture' "in the„..,street pointed
to a conclusion, that theihctvenrtnt of- the
principal stocks was due to operations by
the Harriman-Rockefeller-Gould ■ element,-*
and to those of the Pennsylvania rail
road in retaliation. The advances scored
in the .London market during the holiday
yesterday .and before ,trading was- com
menced here today gave the market a
good start at the opening, and there' ware
many gains, ranging between 1 an] 2
points. After the -preliminary •re act i..
due to the selling jto take T>ro~fite by the
buyers of > -Wednesday t Atchison moved
very aggressively upward on an absorp
tion of thousand-share lots.•-'-> During the
rest of the day there were successive de
velopments'of similar movements in other
stocks, notably Pennsylvania, Union Pa
cific, Sou'Aern Pacific, Missouri Pacific
and the Southern railway-stocks. - The
buying -of Atchison ' Came - from many
sources, apparently in an .effort to dis
guise its origin, and the-prevalent opin
ion was that a large part of It was for
Philadelphia account and \ in, the interest
of the Pennsylvania railroad. A large
speculative pool was also active in - trie"
stock and helped along .the advance by
manipulation: The buying of: Southern

same as last week. . Butcher cattle have

and the best are selling at $35@40. ; =
HOGS—There has tern"* an ' "upward
trend in" hog prices for the greater part
railway was attributedl^ -to the same
source;-and confident'-. predictions we- c
heard that announcements would be
made of Pennsylvania control in the com;
pany. The advance in Atchison reached
5%, in the preferred 2%, Pennsylvania 3%,
and Southern railway 3%, as a result of
this buying. The movement in Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Southern Fa
cific and the Southwesterns generally was
almost equally impressive, Union Pacific
rising an extreme 4%, Kansas & Texas
preferred 3%, Southern Pacific 3%, and
Missouri.Pacific.3%. ■ The street was full
of well defined rumors that a settlement
had been agreed upon between, the con
tending interests in Northern •• Pacific,
which result in even stronger conditions
in the railroad world than at present.
This, was the underlying cause, of the
strength in the market, but. the railroads
in the Southern region responded mLCh
more notably than those in the Northern'
region. New York Central rose 2% and
Baltimore & Ohio 2%, apparently in sym
pathy with Pennsylvania. The so-called
greater Missouri Pacific retained its full
forces as a factor. The decided strength
of the United States Steel stocks also had
a considerable influence. There was talk
of an early dividend on the common
stock. It advanced 2% and the preferred
2%. Amalgamated Copper rose nearly 4
points in spite of the reported formation
of an opposition corporation. The com
bination of the opposition was said to be
preliminary to its absorption by the
Amalgamated Copper company. The
stock reacted later and closed with a net
gain" of less than 2 points. There were
gains of from 2 to 4%, r> s Moines & Fort
Dodge 4%, and Twin City Rapid Transit
S& Preliminary estimates of the bank
statement indicate that the inflow of cash
from the interior has more than offset th
losses by the banks to the subtreaeury,
which include the payments to the assay
office for the gold bars exported. The
market closed active and strong at a
rally from-a late reaction and with many
stocks at the top.

brokers, 341 Robert street. National Ger
man-American Bank building, St. Paul-
Missouri Pacific and Wabash have also
shown a healthy tone and the plans of
the Goulds appear to be moving on to
wards fulfillment. Steel stocks have
been bought largely by good people and
the question of a general dividend on th e
preferred and common shares is openly
discussed. Of the preferred stock there
cap be but lfttle doubt, but as to the
common shares It is largely an optn ques
tion as to what policy will be adopt-d.
Erie and Southern railway have recorded
a further movement and the situation of
•the coal trade seems to us of so satis
factory a nature that we look for an ad
vance in Reading Ist and 2d preferred,
as well us in the common shares

vexed Chinese question was in a fair way
of being settled by the payment of the
indemnity demanded. Consols at the
same time spurted in expectation ot an
early reduction of the bank rate. The
hard fighting in the Transvaal is regard
ed as something better than a wild
goose chase, and so had less ad verso
effect than miffht be supposed. American

SPLIT IN MARYLAND PARTY.
Democrat State Organization in
Danger of rui.(lon
BALTIMORE. May 31.—A serious break
is threat, n d in he Democratic state or
ganization, and one which former Senator
Gorman may bo unable t.i avert. It de
veloped during the meeting of th.- state
central committee yesterday, and was
precipitated by former a .v. Frank
Brown, who, in a published interview, de
clared that the party could not win un
less new men and new methods were em
ployed. He advised the shelving or the
present state leader. and was particu
larly severe upon Chairman Van Diver,
of the state centra] committee.
It has been known for some time that
I. Freeman Raisin, the lwal leader and
Mr. Gorman's chief lieutenant, was not
on the best terms with Gov. Smith and
Chairman Van Diver, while he has been
particularly friendly to former Gov.
Brown. The latter has national ambi
tions, but would be willing to wait until
two years hence, when Senator I.tc-
Comas term expires. Gov. Smith Is un
derstood to have similar aspirations, and
is said to be slated. Gov. Brown is,
therefore, willing to tie up with Mr. Gor
man. Mr. Rasin'« rupture with the gov
ernor dates from the time of the ap
pointments by the executive. The city
loader claimed he was not given pVop^r
consideration. He also blames Mr. Van
Diver for the slight. Now, the former
governor and Mr. Rasin havo joined
hands against Gov. Smith and Chairman
Van Diver. Mr. Rasin is still the friend
of Mr. Gorman and the break will not
affect the latter's relations with him, but
it may have serious effects on the elec
tion this fall. The new state-/ central
committee Is to be named by the state
convention Aug. 1. It Is generally be
lieved that Mr. Gorman will not consent
to VanDlver's displacement.
WILL EXPLORE IN ALASKA.
United States Geological Survey
Party Leaves Scuttle.
SEATLrE, Wash.. May 31.—The mem
bers of the United State 3 geological sur
vey party, which is to explore descrlba
and lay out the northern half of the
Seward peninsula of Alaska, on which
Cape Nome is situated, left on the steam
ship Senator for t'neir summer work.
Thomas G. Online, of the United
States geological survey, 13 at the head
of the party. He was topographer of th •
Copper river expedition last summer.
Prof. Arthur J. Collier is the geologist
for the present expedition. Concerning
the country to be. gone over and th
work to be done. Prof. Collier laid:
"In our reconnaiaance trip we ■will
travel about CCO miles. From Nome we
will proceed direct to. Port Clarence,
which will be our starting point tor tho
work. Thence we will %> by an overland
route to Cape York. V. •■ will explore the
York mountains and will carefully exam
ine into the tin deposits discov?red last
summer in the York region. We hoye i<>
be able to ascertain the extent and rich
ness of this deposit and to locate it, more
exactly than we did last summer.
•"From the York district we will pro
ceed eastward along the main divide of
the peninsula, finally reaching Schlsli
nareff inlet. Tills Inlet is entirely unex
plored, as yet, and It Is the intention, of
those in charge of the expedition* that It
be gone over as thoroughly as possible.
We will then proceed to Cap© EspenburK.
at the northern extremity of the pen!n
eula. Thence we will go to the Agvapuk
river. This stream will be explored am
mapped thoroughly, A. few more detaiU
remain to be added to the work of map
ping the Kougarok river, -which was dotie
in part last summer.
"If the season be long enough wo will
then go eastward to Elephant point, on
Kotzebue sound. Here we wish not only
to make a geological survey for map and
descriptive purposes, but we hope to
look into the fossil remains of that sec
tion and see whether it would be worth
while for lue government to send an ex
pedition'for such specimens' for the Na
tional museum."
